IMPORTANT, OFFICIAL SHIP TRANSFER POLL

[Tinwhisker]

Voted option 1. For me, gameplay always trumps realism.

Besides, having it be instant doesn't take anything away from the game. If it breaks immersion for you, don't use it; all the previous options are still available.

That said, a delay wouldn't be terrible. All it requires is a bit of forethought. New cargo CG is golden and I don't have my cargo ship with me? Log in before dinner and start the transfer, by the time I play that night it will be done.

It's a shame they didn't do this (a vote with account login req'd) where an "open only" bonus was considered, for power play to start.

The thread I made to let folks know that didn't play power play got over 2,000 replies and was locked/unlocked 4 times.

We still don't know what ever became of the idea, although there have been a few CG's that gave a bonus to open players.

Now that, would be a poll I would have very strong opinions on.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Aint the first, won't be the last

I was thinking with the Team one night and said it should be a 10 second per jump wait. That seemed reasonable to me. Whatever the jumps would be for THAT ship. 4400 jumps in your 50ly conda to Jaques? 44K seconds, or 733.33 minutes, or 12.22 hours. THAT is reasonable. Now its just the cost. Fuel, crew, insurance, food, drink, entertainment, permits, training and certification. It all adds up. Oh and lets not forget Profit! 12 hours and about 250 million credits.

Brestla to Wyrd? 250ly or so? Your ship does 25 per jump? 10 jumps. 100 seconds. Cost, 130K. That's cheap.

But, we will see. They may collect the votes and bin them anyways. Its a win/win. They listened and the determination is they do what they want.

4400 jumps at 50ly per jump = 220,000ly! Divide by 10!

I think more than 10 seconds per jump is reasonable - more than you can do it yourself is reasonable, especially when considering 24/7 jumping.

Voted 1... I want my ships in Achenar.

If ship transfer is to be, I much prefer option #2. A bit of forethought and planning is one of the things that makes the game interesting to me.

Precisely.

Would be nice to at least try Instant Transfer in beta, just to see how it works out, or not.
